In fairness, borrowing at sub prime rates āuntilā a lower rate loan comes through is asking for trouble. The cunts sitting across the table watching people sign these agreements have some neck though.

8 suicides in the past 18 days in Laois. Really felt we were coming out of this somewhat, hadnāt heard of one in a while there for a bit. 8 since start of the month. Fucking hell.
Fuck me.
All young lads? A pact?
Fairly unrelated Iām lead to believe. Latest a girl in her late 20ās. Horrifying.
This is the thing. People label suicide as āsuch a wasteā but is it not just (pardon the horrible expression) natural wastage as emotional beings from the toughness of this thing we call life?
Cold but perhaps a fair point.
Are other physical illnesses the same so, just natural wastage?
Extreme darwinism?
Survival of the fittest itās called.
I suppose the point I am trying to make is that people will always die by suicide. This idea that suicide isnāt a āproper deathā is frankly stupid,
Evanne Ni Chualain spoke very honestly about her brotherās suicide recently. She said that she never saw him look so peaceful in the coffin after years of suffering with mental health. Almost something similar you would say about a physical illness.
Doesnāt mean you shouldnāt do all you can to stop it though. Very complex topic. Not sure there is right and wrong answers
And Iām sure, despite ENC comments, she would still have done anything to change what happened
but its not natural, with adequate help and support its preventable in most cases. Iām not sure I understand your darwinian reasoning, who are the winners, how have depressed people ālostā in the race for mental health. its not an acceptable price to pay for the supposed progress of modern society, its often an indication of the many flaws of it
jesus that drives me ape, when someone comes out with the auld ādidnāt they look greatā in reference to someone in a coffin, they are dead for fuck sake, how would you look lovely or great?

Maybe alot of people are beyond help or counselling and just want to check out. After years of medication and in and out of shit holes like Ballinasloe. Living for the sake of living is pointless too. For the record, Iām delighted with my life.

I think what she was getting at was that her brother was a lost cause.
And some people are unfortunately.
Of course you should try to stop it. I never said otherwise. But life is fucking hard at times even without mental illness. Itās inevitable that suicide will occur.
I donāt know what you are trying to say there. For a start what do you mean by it not being natural?
I just think thatās something people say at a funeral to make themselves feel better tbh
Iāve had a eureka moment.
A coffin themed fashion line, compressed, lightweight wooden casket outfits with limb spaces. Obviously there will be some practicalities to overcome such as sitting down and using the toilet etc but we could create hinges and flaps for things like that.
thats societies fault that people are essentially imprisoned in medieval torture chambers like ballinalsoe. If people could just see that life doesnāt have to be pointless they wouldnt want to check out
i wouldnāt consider suicide, often due to lack of adequate resources to help, to be a natural wastage as you suggested
How do you know itās often due to not being given the resources to help?
Most people commit suicide because they have tried everything the medical world has to offer and still feel horrific, They lose hope.
Look, Iām not trying to say that all suicides are not preventable but I do think that the view of all suicides being preventable is completely unrealistic.
I didnāt say all were preventable either. But lots and id confidently say most are. How many suicidal people are released from hospital almost immediately with no meds or follow up. How horrendous are conditions in some psych hospitals that people who need full time help and recognise that are terrified to go near them.
